Update on Haiti Relief Effort - Help for Orphans International

noreply@blogger.com (Jhen) — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 11:44:00 +0000

Dear Friends and New Friends,

This is my personal update that I want to share with you today. If you didn't read my email from 2 days ago it is at the bottom of this one.

Help for Orphans International has a volunteer named Jonathan on the ground in Haiti right now. He is a pilot, personally using his own plane. I hear directly from Jonathan everyday.

He said there is a BIG need for morphine here in the hospitals (or at least oral narcotics). They are doing amputations without it. That might be the single most important item to distribute now. Apparently there are quantities in Port Au Prince but the army has taken over and distribution is very slow. Pass the word.

As I mentioned before, Jonathan has this knowledge because he has the only small aircraft on the ground in Haiti right now, which is shuttling in supplies and help. Due to his tireless efforts he has been able to bring medical personnel, supplies, food, water and medication directly to the people who need it most. It is because of the money we raise that enables him to continue to pay for fuel and supplies.

I want you to think about this for a minute. Can you imagine if your child, your brother, or your grandchild was in severe pain for days on end, with no medical care? Can you imagine your child losing ALL the family they have ever known and left to fend for themselves on the streets, surrounded by decomposing bodies? This is the situation for so many in Haiti.

These children need our help. I realize I may be sounding very dramatic here but this is the honest truth. I need every one of you to understand and pass on how severely help is needed there. Most of us, if not all, take for granted the food and water we have at our disposal. So many lives are being lost in Haiti – today - because they are lacking the simple essentials.

So, please, give whatever you can. A few dollars from everyone reading this will make a huge difference. Give up the Starbucks for just one week.

Text "support orphans" to 20222 to give $5 on your cell bill.

To make a larger contribution go to www.helpfororphans.org and click “Donate now" and most of all PLEASE spread the word to EVERYONE you know!

How To Help Haiti

noreply@blogger.com (Jhen) — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 11:42:00 +0000

Hi,

I am urging you to please read this message and respond accordingly and then to please forward this on to all your contacts.

As you may know, I am fortunate to be working for Help for Orphans International, a charity founded by Sarah Ehrlich four years ago. She has done a lot of work helping orphans in Kenya and is now solely focused on helping the orphans affected by the earthquake in Haiti.

I don't like to spread bad news but we have a volunteer from our organization who's been on the ground there since over a week ago. Words cannot describe the devastation that he has described to me. Imagine a little child losing ALL their family, wounded, no place to live and with little food/water. This is TRULY the situation.

Sarah and myself are going to Haiti in the next few days to raise awareness and to strategize HOW we are most effectively going to help. We will also be purchasing food/formula/diapers in the Dominican Republic to bring to the most hard hit areas.

Our volunteer there named Jonathan flew his 4 seater aircraft 2000 miles from Sag Harbor, NY and is shuttling back and forth between neighboring areas bringing supplies and medical personnel to the most desperate areas. Today he texted me that he was enroute to bring saws and morphine to a medical unit there.

The only way we can keep him doing this is to continue to send him funds.

Do NOT think that they have ENOUGH help because they don't. What we are doing IS making a difference! Jonathan says that he has the only small aircraft shuttling that he has seen. Additionally, because his aircraft is so small he has been cleared to land at Port au Prince airport.

We can NOT continue to do what we're doing without more donations! There's just NO way! Sadly, the surrounding areas have taken advantage of this tragedy and the cost of fuel and food etc.. has skyrocketed! All your donations are 100% tax deductible and you can know that we are actually USING your money RIGHT NOW to make a difference! Anything helps!

Here's how to donate:

1. Click this now Help For Orphans, then select "donate now" on the top left navigation.

2. Text 20222 from you cell phone and type "support orphans" and you will be charged $5 on your next cell phone bill.

3. Call me at 917.704.2131.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you would like to be kept updated PLEASE email me directly and I will add you to our list!

Almost sold out! Watch the webinar recording asap

noreply@blogger.com (Jhen) — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 02:00:00 +0000

The webinar last night with my friend the former money manager was 'sold out'! He gave us more powerful trading content than most paid courses. And, because the webinar was filled to capacity we are posting the recording.

Here's the link to register for the webinar replay.

Exchange Traded Index Funds

One of the things he taught us is called the "Law of Association"; which states that in 5 years you will become like the people you hang out with and the books you read and the courses you study.

The bottom line is that if you want to learn to trade big, or profitably and consistently, you need to be around someone who does. Someone like our webinar instructor who used to trade $50 million at a time.

Here's a short list of only some of the highlights:

- A little known position sizing trick that can double your returns regardless of what market or system you trade.

- Two simple tricks that instantly remove 95% of your emotions in trading. As all traders know the emotions of fear and greed are the number one enemies of traders; beat them and you win.

- How some hedge funds hunt stops and a simple trick to avoid being a victim. Yes hedge funds, brokers and other individuals (not the "market") really do hunt stops.

- Why money managers only risk 1-2% per trade and still make great returns.

- Why trading is not a "zero sum game" and what this really means for the average trader.

- How to make strong profits using the daily charts and trading only 10 minutes per night.

- How Warren Buffett, Jim Rogers and others became great traders and investors.

- What the "gurus" selling hype trading courses are hiding from you and six easy ways to spot a counterfeit "trading teacher" from a mile away.

- One of his profit target strategies. (He has 4 proprietary tactics and gives us one, no charge).

- How to not be vague with your entries and stops like when others who say, "Buy a few cents, ticks, or pips above ___."

- A little known, no cost, scanner tool that can help you trade profitably, right now.

- A complementary excel sheet that does ALL the math for you so you can easily see the optimal position size and risk vs. reward ratio on all trades.

- Why ETFs are the best instrument to trade.

- Much more.

I promise it won't be a waste of your time. My friend really did do trades as large as 50 million before he left the world of money management. He did share a little of his story, but most of the hour is spent on the subjects above. As you know I like to share good content with my subscribers and this is one of them.

Tonight: Trade Secrets of a Multi-Million Dollar Guru

noreply@blogger.com (Jhen) — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 02:00:00 +0000

Wow! I just finished reading the power points for Wednesday's webinar with my friend the ex-fund manager.

And, I've got to say, that in all my years in the trading business, this is the most content rich webinar I have ever seen. No hype, only hard core trading truths that not everyone is going to like.

Things like the fact that he and his hedge fund buddies used to hunt stops. Now he's teaching "civilians" how to make money off those hedge hunters.

If you are new to trading, this hour could save you thousands of dollars over the school of hard knocks.

Those who don't get information like this risk having their whole investment account being wiped out, before they've really had a chance to trade.

For trading veterans I can guarantee you that the advanced position sizing tip is a golden nugget you'll use for increasing profits and decreasing risks in the years to come. This one tip could double your profits regardless of what your entry system is. The one tip alone can turn any average system into a winning system.

We'll cover:

- How to maximize your winners.

- Why most traders have it backwards when it comes to risk.

- How to eliminate 95% of trading stress and emotion.

- Why most traders have it backwards when it comes to winning percentages.

- Even how to become a professional money manager and raise millions, if you so desire.

That last one really surprised me. Because I know that if you really want to make millions in trading the fastest way is to use leverage with other peoples' money, when you are ready.

There are so many reasons to attend this F.R.E.E webinar Wednesday at 9pm EST. I honestly believe you're missing the boat if you don't take advantage of this opportunity. It won't be a waste of your time! I love sharing high quality content with my subscribers and this is going to be one of the best.

Our host has worked trades as large as $50 million during his money management career. He will share a little of his story, but most of the hour will be spent teaching you how to improve your trading.

See you then,

Human Resource Outsourcing Services Providing Experts For Your Company

noreply@blogger.com (Jhen) — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 08:05:00 +0000

Do you lack experts and time in your company to get the job done? If you do, then you need to outsource human resource tasks to an outside company. This means that you need to hire a company to do some of the job your company has to do in order for profit to grow.

It is a fact that some of the jobs that you need to do require professionals. However, if you hire a professional in your company, it will usually be too expensive and will take a lot of time. If you outsource it to outsourcing companies and freelancers, you will be saving a lot of money in terms of salaries.

Human resource tasks, such as payrolls, benefits administration, business processes and employee management are now outsourced to other companies, usually offshore, in order to save on business expenses. Human resource outsourcing is now becoming a booming business in other countries, such as China, Philippines, India and other developing countries. They offer cheap and quality services for companies who are outsourcing human resources.

Since outsourcing saves a lot of money, your company will be able to cut costs in human resource jobs. Also, there are a lot of professionals in these developing countries that are competent and are qualified to do your human resources jobs. They will be able to provide you with quality services at a very competitive price.

Another great thing about outsourcing your human resources jobs is that it will allow your company to focus on more important factors than human resources. It will effectively let you manage your company's priorities more efficiently.

Your company will also be able to save a lot of money on building your own in-house human resource department. This is because the outsourcing companies already have the technology and you don't have to invest a lot of money by developing your own in-house human resources department. The outsourcing company will be the one to provide the technology for you. They will only charge you with the services they do.

The Advantages Of Outsourcing Information Technology

noreply@blogger.com (Jhen) — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 08:03:00 +0000

In the world of software companies, you will need to produce a lot of different software to your clients. The software your company develops can be for large organizations, such as banks, financial institutions, airlines, and government bodies. Because of this, you will need a lot of capital and also a lot of manpower to handle the growing needs for different softwares for your company.

This is why information technology software companies in developed countries, such as US, Canada, and countries in Europe are now considering outsourcing their information technology in developing countries, such as China, Philippines and India to reduce costs and remain competitive in the information technology industry.

As an entrepreneur, you would want to definitely remain competitive in this industry. You want to satisfy more clients in order to keep those IT software orders coming and let your company grow. When you outsource IT, you will be making very large savings in terms of salary and also other expenses that your company may provide your employees.

By outsourcing, you will only have to worry about the contract and the payment that you will be providing the outsourcing company in other countries, which can be cheaper than doing it in-house.

Most IT jobs that are often outsourced are creating software in .Net, database solutions, smartcard solution, Java/J2EE, and wireless application developments. You have to consider that creating software for these things will require you to invest a lot of money and manpower if you do it in-house. When you outsource it, the technology and manpower is readily available.

How To Choose A Good Offshore Outsourcing Partner In The Present Scenario

noreply@blogger.com (Jhen) — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 11:10:00 +0000

Offshore outsourcing is the most cost-efficient route to success for many companies, especially those in the Western Countries. Sadly, the collapse of several banking and finance companies in the Western countries has had a drastic impact on offshoring business. Yet, many other companies are keen to outsource work from countries like India, where the labor is cheaper and the quality of service is higher. Cost savings and competency are the two means to success during recession, and outsourcing is the best channel to achieve both.

The BPO boom in India witnessed the rise of thousands of offshore outsourcing companies, almost in every state of the country. However, many of them had to pull their shutters down as the economy started wavering. In this scenario, it is important for you to consider the following aspects before you pick your offshore outsourcing partner in India.

Quality of service: How do you test the quality of service of an offshore outsourcing company? Well, you can do this by checking their track record. Many offshore service providers in India are built on solid bases, and they have been serving their clients for a long time. If you look at some of the case studies given in the company Web sites, you will be in a position to distinguish these companies on the basis of service quality.

Knowledge of the specific service area: Ideally an offshore outsourcing vendor should be specialized in one type of work, for example, financial services, software development, healthcare services, etc. The specialization itself shows that the company is familiar with the industry, so it can offer quality service to that industry. Never approach a company that claims to have expertise in 'all' areas of businesses.

Infrastructure and resources: Many outsourcing companies in India operate from remote areas where access to infrastructure facilities is limited. This scenario points at the importance of evaluating the infrastructure and resource capabilities of a company. Before picking an offshoring vendor, you have to ensure they have an authorized building, advanced IT and communications infrastructure including the hardware and software, and sufficient number of employees.

Other important features to be considered before finalizing your offshore outsourcing vendor in India include company track record, employee profiles, number of years in business, scalability of services, certifications & accolades, and commitment to relationship. Also, before signing the deal, make a personal visit to the organization to see the actual business process.

Outsourcing Can Help Companies Survive, Save Jobs

noreply@blogger.com (Jhen) — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 11:30:00 +0000

Outsourcing is the word which evokes strong emotions. The trend has been readily accepted by countries like India and China which have become hubs of outsourcing, especially in sectors such as IT, web development, ITES (IT enabled services) and back-end jobs in the BFSI (Banking, Financial Services and Insurance).

Companies from across the world, ranging from Fortune 500 companies to small and medium sized firms, have flocked to India, China, Indonesia and other such Asian nations to outsource crucial services, attracted especially by the cost savings, operating costs rationalization and eclectic talent pool that these countries offer.

This trend picked up steam especially in the late nineties and since then has seen a steady albeit controversial rise. Voices against the growing trend for outsourcing have been equally strong, and the issue has taken crucial political overtones in the US and Europe, where the problem of lack of jobs have often been squarely blamed on outsourcing.

With the economic meltdown now beginning to hit below the belt, the voices against outsourcing are likely to get stronger in 2009 as jobs are disappearing and downsizing is happening across the entire spectrum of industry and services sectors, lying off hundreds of thousands of workers.

Companies on the other hand, are scrambling to cut costs at whatever corner they can in a desperate bid to survive the recession. In such a scenario, one needs to take a comprehensive and objective view of the picture to determine how we can collectively emerge out of this mess.

Will putting a curb on outsourcing prove to be a panacea for all ills and will it actually prevent jobs from disappearing? The answer is NO. If companies are not able to control costs, they will not be in a position to continue operations at reasonable levels and that means, the jobs will continue to be put under the chopper’s blade. Putting curbs on outsourcing will actually further prevent companies from looking for alternative measures to survive the downturn and if the company goes down, so do its job opportunities.

Countries such as Philippines, India and China are still proving to be the only rays of hope in this all pervading gloom, clocking annual growth rates of 6-8%. Here is how they can help recession battered companies recover:

By helping cut costs

This is the biggest worry of the firms hit by recession. Outsourcing can help companies in this endeavour by providing quality services at a fraction of what would have cost, if the companies had done the same work in house. The reasons are pretty simple - no more infrastructure costs and no more training and other HR related costs. The money saved can be utilized in strengthening the marketing or can be put back into the core operations or can be held as the reserve.

By providing competent services

The jobs which companies typically outsource because of their non-core nature are actually core business for the outsourcing vendors so they are able to provide the required focus and the quality because of their well trained and experienced staff and proven working models. Not that the companies themselves can't reach the same quality levels over a period of time but the effort and resources required are not worth it in these depressing times.

By providing fresh perspective

New mindset and fresh ideas coming out of different socio-cultural milieu of the people working on the project may be just what outsourcing company needs to beat the economic blues. This especially works in case of certain specialised services, such as outsourcing of web development work where novelty is the name of the game. Maybe that’s why outsourcing of web services has not been affected by the ongoing recession.

By swift execution of the jobs

More often than not, non-core (but essential) works suffer from bureaucracy. Core business always gets the priority and other jobs tend to get postponed for one reason or other. This might hurt in the long run. But when the same jobs are outsourced, they generally won’t go off track or get derailed due to internal politics or conflicting IT priorities.

One example is web development work of say, some construction firm. Having a web site may not be their priority but not having one or not having a good one will certainly hurt. So outsourcing web services work makes sense for such companies.

The outsourcing debate is a long and contentious one and will become shriller in coming days but one thing is clear - outsourcing can actually prove to be the life saver for a lot of companies which eventually will help them buck the slowdown. Once they emerge from the recession, the jobs will be back again where they were. A bust is typically followed by a boom and more jobs will be up for takes in times to come. The challenging times now requires us to be pragmatic, not emotional about outsourcing.

Outsourcing is the need of an hour!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Jhen) — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 06:01:00 +0000

Outsourcing is the need of this hour and according to the German Association for Information Management, Telecommunications, and New Media (BITKOM), turnover generated through IT and business process outsourcing is expected to increase by 7.2% to 14.6 billion Euros in Germany. This means that the trends are not going to reduce but it could maximize in the time of recession.

In the current difficult economic situations, even those businesses, which have so far had skeptical attitude towards outsourcing offshore services starts thinking about the outsourcing of processes and back office operation, commented Mr. Martin Jetter, board member of BITKOM, the above forecast.

According to him, businesspersons are currently concentrating on their core activities and they’re outsourcing their non core activities to low cost destination which are also a part of better carried out by other market players.

Outsourcing boosts the productivity of the economy and thus helps to obtain best ROI in the business. In coming years outsourcing will become a normal trend, and the current crisis help customers to take much quicker decisions on project than before. In the past, it sometimes took essential steps in cutting the cost and reverting business boom back to it.

Customers prefer IT projects done in less than 60% incurred in-house operation. Outsourcing project to India helps you in gaining more revenue with incredible pool of talented professionals. Professionals in India are well understood and well nurtured in current software environment. They are even technically sound with strong determination and passion to complete your task. Hiring an Indian software professionals of PHP, JAVA, ASP and .NET based technologies in real time will enhance your production capability through IT and software solutions. In this tuff times more and more companies want to outsource their non-core business by means of BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) and KPO (Knowledge Process Outsourcing).

Customers prefer synchronized customized IT operation projects for rapidly growing enterprises to improve performance and pay off. This was revealed in the course of a survey carried out by BITKOM among leading providers of outsourcing services.

Offshore Outsourcing - Finding TheRight Country To Outsource YourCompany's Projects

noreply@blogger.com (Jhen) — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 02:23:00 +0000

Today, companies are now hiring other companies in other countries to do their business or part of their business. This particular type of business strategy is called offshore outsourcing.

It is a fact that in today's business world, offshore outsourcing is now becoming a very feasible trend for companies who wants to expand their business or to simply reduce their overhead expenses.

As an entrepreneur, you would definitely want to reduce the operating costs of your business without sacrificing your businesses functionality. By outsourcing your business or at least part of your business, you can indeed expand and reduce operating expenses.

Outsourcing is a very large industry in developing countries, such as India and the Philippines. Your company can definitely hire companies in these two countries to outsource part of your business or even all of it. However, you should take note that you should choose an outsourcing company that provides quality and professionally done jobs.

You should also consider which country you should outsource your business in. People in different countries have different culture and education. You have to choose which people, culture, and educational standards that your company can benefit from.

For example, in India, this country has one of the largest populations of IT professionals in the world. Because of the British influenced educational systems in this country, the education on math and science in this country is greatly emphasized. This country has one hundred and twenty thousand trained IT professionals added to the workforce every year.

India is now being considered as an IT center in developing countries and is also one of the countries that United States companies prefer for software or IT outsourcing. India has created a strong reputation as one of the leading countries in IT outsourcing industry in the world.

Business Outsourcing: Getting The Best Of All Worlds

noreply@blogger.com (Jhen) — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 13:54:00 +0000

Succeeding in the business world may well depend on many factors. However, first and foremost, any company looking to stay ahead of the pack must devote as much resources as they can to excelling at whatever their core business function is, whether it's selling burgers or designing websites. But the key to succeeding in the long-run has just as much to do with the effective day-to-day running of the business as it has with the core revenue-generating activities.

For instance, there is staff to recruit and train, and equipment to source and maintain. In addition, the general operational side of the organisation has to be streamlined to ensure resources aren't needlessly wasted on ineffective or inefficient administrative pursuits.

However, it is important to realise that it's extremely difficult for any company to be an expert on every aspect of business management. It can be tempting for business managers and owners to try and 'manage' everything in-house, as it will undoubtedly be cheaper to do so; but this poses a real danger of inadvertently marginalising key operational business activities.

To successfully manage everything in-house requires a lot of additional resources and may not be the most financially-efficient way of running a business; which is why many companies choose to outsource some aspects of their operations.

Indeed, outsourcing certain business activities can be hugely beneficial for companies of all sizes. For small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), it can often be far more cost-effective in the long-run not to have a dedicated human resources department if they have a small staff turnover; and they may only require qualified accountants on an occasional basis. In these instances, it is far more useful to be able to tap into such specialised services on an ad-hoc basis; in other words, only pay for services when they are actually required.

And for small companies all the way through to the biggest of corporations, outsourcing services can be of great benefit purely so a company doesn't have to become an 'expert' itself on all aspects of business management. By being able to use the specialist skills and knowledge of experts in a particular field, this allows them to dedicate more of their own resources to revenue-generating activities, which can help to increase profitability in the long-run.

Ultimately though, by choosing to outsource certain services, this will effectively ensure that a company will get the best of all worlds. And anything that can help a business stay one step ahead of its competition can only be a good thing.

5 Ways Outsourcing Benefits Your Business

noreply@blogger.com (Jhen) — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 02:34:00 +0000

No matter what type of business you're in today, you'll definitely outsource some elements of it. Large companies outsource entire departments like technical support, payroll processing, accounting, logistics and other functions normally performed by themselves. Smaller businesses outsource too, although to a lesser scale.

So what are the main benefits of outsourcing your business? In my experience, here are the top 5 ways out sourcing will eventually pay off in the long run:

1) Keep Capital Costs Low

It the early stages of your business, you would not want to incur a lot of capital expenditure by buying equipment and software. Outsourcing allows you to avoid unnecessary expenses because all the equipment you'll need is already supplied by the company you're outsourcing to.

2) Extra Focus on Marketing

There's a saying that the only thing you cannot outsource in your business is your marketing, and this rings true across many diverse business models.

By outsourcing your non-revenue-generating activities, you can build the strength of your sales team, and push forward in marketing. Ultimately, whatever cost your incur by outsourcing those back-end activities will be covered up by the extra revenue you generate.

3) Increase Your Expertise

When you limit the scope of expertise involved in your company, you stand a better chance of being a specialized expert in the area you focus on.

For example, lets say you outsource everything else and except your marketing team. By focusing only on marketing, your organization eventually develops unmatched expertise in that area, which will serve well to give your company a competitive edge.

4) Reduce Risk

Needless to say, by keeping capital costs low and focusing on your core business activities only, you can reduce your risk significantly.

It may not seem important at first, but companies operating in cut-throat industries will definitely feel a heavy burden lifted off their shoulders.

5) Quicker Response Time

The trend nowadays is not in having a skyscraper with your company's logo on it. Today's organizations are all about speed and adaptability instead of size. By being small and focused, you can respond quicker to the market's needs.

Large organizations that do not outsource are always tagging behind simply because they cannot make decisions quickly enough, compared to a smart company that utilizes outsourcing strategies.

The Advantages of Business Outsourcing

noreply@blogger.com (Jhen) — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 02:47:00 +0000

Business outsourcing has increased by 16% over the last 5 years according to research published by the London School of Economics. That's a tectonic shift in the way businesses operate, and it's also something that's widely expected to increase further into the future. Global barriers to trade are diminishing, and the more competitive countries already dominate in the product industry. Business services are rapidly heading in the same direction. In this article the benefits of business outsourcing are explored, giving readers the opportunity to better understand the factors that are powering the growth of business process outsourcing.

Focus On Core Competencies

A business that sells investment consulting services didn't get into business because they were good at marketing, because they were good at sales, or because they knew how to write software. They got into business because they felt they had a compelling opportunity to offer investors. That's why the business might choose to outsource marketing to an agency, outsource sales, and call on a software development firm to set up their systems. This allows them to focus on what they are best at, and allow experts to handle the other functions of their business.

Although larger companies will usually employ in-house experts too, some functions of a business have been outsourced for decades. Media buying is very rarely done in-house, and when it comes to legal and accounting services the same applies.

While these functions are still strong for the outsourcing industry, many new markets have developed strongly over the last decade. These include software development, call handling, engineering and carriage.

Flexibility

When you employ one delivery driver, you can only sell so much in a given week. When sales are slow, the driver's wages still need to be paid. However, when you work with an outsourcing industry you can use resources on tap. When you are able to buy services, rather than employing staff, you can flip fixed cost-centres to variable cost-centres. This makes your business better positioned to scale.

When you employ people you have to worry about being able to generate enough sales to pay their wages. You also have to worry about national insurance, tax and other legal headaches that you don't have to be concerned about when you're paying a company. Furthermore, for companies in the UK, you will be able to get VAT back on the money you spend on business services.

Money Talks

When you outsource you can use a company based anywhere in the world. That's why the business process outsourcing industry is big in Asia - the economy is still developing and therefore wages are much cheaper. For many business functions, like software development, call handling, and marketing, there are few reasons why this would have to be done in the UK. That's why companies will often choose to pay an overseas outsourcing business to handle these functions. Because there is more demand for these types of services in Asia, it also means that Asia has a more skilled workforce in these areas.

Offshore Outsourcing Services - What Is It And What Can You Get From It?

noreply@blogger.com (Jhen) — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 15:11:00 +0000

First of all, you have to understand what offshore outsourcing services really imply. Offshore outsourcing means that a company will be hiring another company to work on their business processes. The company that offers offshore outsourcing services will be doing the business process or part of the business process.

Companies in developed countries, such as the United States, Canada, and European nations are now outsourcing their business process or part of their business process in order to save money. This is the primary reason why companies today are now outsourcing their business processes.

Companies that offer outsourcing services are usually offshore or are located in other countries. Usually, countries from developing nations do this because of the high demand for outsourcing services from western countries.

If you have a company, then outsourcing can be one of the best things that can happen to your business, in case you choose to outsource your business process in offshore companies. Besides, because you can save your company from spending a lot of money and at the same time fully function as a whole company, who wouldn’t want to get outsourcing services from offshore companies?

By outsourcing, your company will be able to save significant amounts of money. This is because offshore companies, particularly in developing nations, charges only a fraction of the amount to get the job done compared to your own country. Developing nations that usually offers outsourcing services are China, the Philippines, Mexico, and India. These countries are considered to have such a low labor cost that companies from developed countries are considering hiring their services to get their business process work done.

Where to Outsource: a Guide to the Best Outsourcing Destinations

noreply@blogger.com (Jhen) — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 08:24:00 +0000

Offshore outsourcing is the practice of hiring an external organization to perform some business functions in a country other than the one where the product or service will be sold or consumed.

Outsourcing has increased at a rapid pace due to the advancement in modern satellite and Internet technologies, better connectivity and a constant search for less expensive labor to cut costs and achieve competitive advantage. By outsourcing their back office business processes to less expensive nations like China, India, Philippines, Malaysia, companies can cut labor costs, concentrate on their core businesses and strengths, and ensure better customer satisfaction. According to a recent report, US firms have saved nearly US$8 billion through outsourcing to developing nations like the Philippines
There are many developing nations that act as offshore outsourcing destinations to developed nations. Some of the countries that can be considered as offshore outsourcing destinations are as follows:

Philippines

The Philippines' key competitive advantage is its people. Philippines has a well-educated English speaking work force and stands out as the world's third largest English speaking nation. The attitude, commitment, community, and education constitute the key competitive advantage especially in the front office operations such as customer service and sales.

The Philippines boasts of a huge pool of productive, trainable and multi-skilled labor force. Filipino Outsourcing companies such as AOV Outsourcing service only hire workers that are highly qualified for various outsourcing tasks.

Government support and the IT infrastructure is a given. Major companies that already operate in the Philippines include AIG, AOL, Barnes & Noble, Chevron, Citigroup, Dell, HP, HSBC, IBM, Intel, JPMorgan Chase, Motorola, Procter & Gamble, Siemens AG and Trend Micro.

China

In recent years, China is rapidly emerging as one of the world's leading suppliers of offshore software outsourcing services due to its incredible development rate. Although India is at the moments the world leader in software outsourcing industry, China aims to outpace India and become the next dominant competitor in software outsourcing. It is predicted that China will emerge as one of the top three countries for overseas software outsourcing between 2007 and 2010. Companies are already beginning to plan their offshore outsourcing strategies to take advantage of China's emerging strength as an outsourcing center. This includes looking for ways to take advantage of the country's current software strengths. Some estimates state that China outsourcing could rival India as the leading offshore IT services market as early as 2007.

The recent flurry of activity that helped put China on the outsourcing map came about partly as a result of government support and promotion, partly because of Japan’s push to move much of its software development work to China, and partly because a number of large foreign companies -- GE, Microsoft, Dell, SAP and HP, for example -- started up R&D centers in China.

India

One of the major players in the offshore outsourcing industry, India has a well educated, talented, low cost and English speaking workforce, excellent IT and networking infrastructure, a fairly stable political scenario, friendly laws and well laid taxes and quality certified software firms. The offshore outsourcing market in India is ever growing and has produced many success stories making India a popular offshore outsourcing destination for IT related and other BPO services.

Offshore assignments have moved up the value chain - from data entry to large and complex turnkey projects of 200 to 300 person years. Almost any service can be outsourced to India, be it healthcare, engineering or KPO.

Malaysia

Malaysia's well-developed infrastructure, attractive business environment and strong government support makes it a rising alternative to India and China. The government's positioning of Malaysia as a hub for services and technology innovation has resulted in a number of multinationals locating some of its global or regional operations in Malaysia. Malaysia has a relatively more stable political climate backed by consistent economic growth which makes it attractive for sensitive, high end applications in banking and finance.

Why And How To Outsource Your Business

noreply@blogger.com (Jhen) — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 02:05:00 +0000

Outsourcing is one of the latest buzzwords in the business world. It is an effective business solution that will truly benefit any company. Outsourcing means you will be hiring a third party company to do your company's business or at least part of it. So, why outsource your business when you can do the business of your company in-house?

The main reason why companies today are outsourcing their business or at least part of their business to other companies is that it is relatively cheaper than doing it in-house. For example, if your company needs a customer care department or a help desk, you will need a particularly large office space for this department and a lot of materials, such as computers, software and your company will also hire a large amount of manpower to act as call center agents or help desk agents.

If you outsource it to call center companies, you will definitely not need to hire additional employees and you will not need to purchase the technology needed to run an effective call center department. You will also not need to devote an office space as the office can be in another country.

Companies prefer outsourcing in another country or offshore outsourcing, particularly in developing countries, such as India, Philippines, China, and countries in Latin America. This is because there is quite a large pool of talented individuals joining the workforce every year in these countries. Qualified and talented professionals in these countries can provide the same quality services as the qualified individuals in developed countries with companies that outsource their business or part of it, such as the United States, Canada, and countries in Europe.

This means that the companies who outsource their business in developing countries have access to cheap labor. They can save as much as half of their budget when they do not outsource or when they perform their businesses in-house.

Where To Find The Best Call Center Outsourcing Company

noreply@blogger.com (Jhen) — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 03:00:00 +0000

As an entrepreneur, you want your company to save money in order for it to expand. And, at the same time, you want your company to provide quality service for your customers and potential customers. However, you may find it hard to balance both of these factors in today's business world.

By providing quality customer care, you have to spend a lot of money in order to satisfy your customers. To do this, you have to hire additional employees to act as customer service representative, you have to buy a customer service software, and you also have to purchase a lot of computers and gadgets to accommodate your customer service representatives and also your callers.

This would mean you have to devote a significantly large office space for your workstations, and you also have to spend a lot of money on salaries, and on the technology you have to buy.

This is why many companies are now considering outsourcing their call centers to offshore call center companies. With this, you will save a large amount of money from hiring additional employees with full company benefits. Aside from saving a lot of money from purchasing additional equipments and hiring additional employees to act as customer service representatives or help desk agents, you will also fully use your company's resources to further develop your company.

You would want to consider hiring offshore call center companies, particularly call center companies in developing countries, such as India, Mexico, China, and Philippines because the labor in these developing countries is cheaper. These countries also generate a lot of fresh college graduates every year who are competent and qualified to do the job.
